White House press secretary Jay Carney defended President Obama's upcoming trip to Pennsylvania as fiscal cliff negotiations drag on at a Tuesday press briefing. "Wouldn't it send a signal to the American people and to markets to see the president meeting here with Congressional leadership?" Bloomberg reporter Julianna Goldman asked Carney. "That would be a signal that Washington can function." "The signal that Washington can function is the result," Carney replied. "Only inside the Beltway do people think that sitting in a room for a photo spray will solve necessarily problems. The work has to be done and that work is being done."
